ISMAILIA: Ismaili have turned down an offer from Qatari side Al-Wakra to loan sweeper Hani Saied until the end of the season.
I talked to coach Emad Soliman on Monday asking him to let me go but he said no, Saied told FilGoal.com.
The new boss wants to keep all the players now to get the team back on track and finish among the top two to play in next season s CAF Champions League, added the international defender.
The Dervishes are second of the table with 37 points just like Zamalek and Gaish.
Soliman confirmed that he won t allow the 27-year-old player to leave. We can t let him go at the moment. We had similar offers for Hosni Abd-Rabou and Mohamed Fadl and we rejected them also.
However the board will hold a meeting on Tuesday to give a final decision on Saied s departure.
